We liked everything about the Riad Ekla since we walked in to the moment we checked out. We were welcomed from Mohsine, the manger of the Riad, and we felt in our second home immediately. He offered us the typical Moroccan mint tea. It tasted so good. Then he gave us all the informations we needed regarding the Medina and he gave us a map and indications. The riad is so cleaned, beautiful, relaxing and peaceful. Always with an oriental relaxing music on the background and jasmine perfume all around. Breakfast served on the terrace was delicious and different every day with fresh homemade cakes and bread, fresh salad fruit, fresh yogurt and juice/coffee. And again the waiter who served us, I u can’t remember his name, was so kind and sweet. Mohsine organised our tours in Agafay Desert, with camels and quad ride followed by an amazing typical Moroccan dinner under the stars, then next day in the Ourika Valley with its waterfalls and again a veri nice lunch by the river. In both day we met amazing people from our drivers and guide to the waterfalls, Anouar, such a nice person. Mohsine also organised also the Hammam ritual and massage for me and my partner, and money was worth it for the entire experience. We couldn’t be happier for this magic experience in Marrakesh. Thank you so much

Sometimes walking through the Medina can be very difficult and dangerous just because there are lots of people on motorcycles and cars but this is nothing to do with the Road Ekla.

We absolutely loved Riad Ekla. The location couldn’t be better, it’s right at the gate to the new side of the city with a supermarket less than 10 mins away, at the same time is in the Medina and close from everything within. The food in the riad is amazing, I highly recommend having the breakfast and trying lunch/dinner. The harira and the tajines are absolutely delicious and the perfect dinner after a day of walking around in Marrakech. The whole staff is amazing but a special shout out to Mustafa who was amazing and so so helpful. Not only he gave us a few good tips to eat around Marrakech but also shared a lot of the traditions which we were so happy to learn.

We read a few comments about the Riad and the staff and this made us feel more confortable. It is all true: staff are really helpfull. The food was good. Love the bread they served on a daily basis, for breakfast and dinner. We woke up very estou in the morning due to the prayers, which is something fully understandable. For those who are light sleepers, please take ear plugs and this Will help. All the transfers were confortable and Nice. Once you get aquainted with the location and how to walk around inside de Medina, ir gets easier for sure. The mint tea and the smell of Orange blossom were amazing. Ahh, and the cats too! So sweet and friendly. If you have a chance, go to gueliz and have dinner at La Pallette and try the tiramisu with amlou! Amazing There is plenty to see in Marraquexe. Dont rush Plan before and book some places before Thank you guys for everything

First time in Marrakech and loved it. Fab riad with excellent staff who went the extra mile to make sure we enjoyed our stay. We welcomed with mint tea and pastries. They took the time to talk through the highlights of Marrakech to help us get our bearings. We had dinner on the first night, be ready for generous portions! The breakfast was great every morning. The road had a lovely rooftop terrace. The courtyard and plunge pool was beautiful. Everything was spotlessly clean. In terms of location you are a short walk from the centre of the souks and to the YSL gardens.

Small room, but it was comfortable and had everything we needed.

The courtyard is very pretty and the staff really kind. The breakfast was good, too.

There's a mosque right next to the riyad and the call to prayer at dawn was so loud that it was impossible not to wake up. The walls of the room were paper-thin so we could hear other guests perfectly clear, which was also an acoustic nuisance that disturbed us at night. Thankfully, we only stayed for two nights - this would have been a deal-breaker for a longer stay. Another riyad in the Medina that we stayed at didn't have these problems. There was also a number of other issues with the room: - It got very humid and the small window did little to alleviate that problem. - There were very few power sockets available. Providing a multi-socket extender could be helpful here.

Our experience at this Riad in Marrakech was amazing. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with a delicious tea, setting the tone for a warm and hospitable stay. The room was spotless, the breakfast was varied and delicious, and the small pool in the patio added a lovely touch. Although we didn’t use the spa, everything in the Riad radiated tranquility and attention to detail. That being said, the location wasn’t our favorite, and we stayed in a ground-floor room, which was a bit noisy at times. We also found it a little pricey for what it offered. However, the staff’s kindness and attentiveness truly made a difference—they were incredible and made us feel at home.

My girlfriend and I had the pleasure of staying at this riad for three nights, and it was an unforgettable experience thanks to the exceptional staff and the beautiful atmosphere of the property. A special mention goes to Yassin, who was simply incredible throughout our stay. He went above and beyond to help us with any questions we had and shared fascinating insights about Marrakech. Yassin even assisted us in purchasing and activating a SIM card, making the process seamless. His attentiveness and warm hospitality made us feel truly at home. Another highlight of our stay was Mustafa, who took care of breakfasts with a constant smile on his face. Each day, he asked what time we’d like to have breakfast and ensured everything was ready when we arrived. He also showed genuine interest in how our day went and was always concerned about our well-being, which we deeply appreciated. We also had a brief but wonderful interaction with Abdul on our last day. Though our time with him was short, he shared a beautiful conversation about Moroccan culture and people, leaving a lasting impression. He also helped us arrange a taxi and made sure our journey back to the airport went smoothly. Finally, Neima deserves recognition for her cheerful and kind demeanor. She attended to us with a warm smile and made us feel welcomed every time we crossed paths. The riad itself is stunning, with a charming design and a serene ambiance, but what truly sets it apart is the incredible staff. We wholeheartedly recommend staying here for an unforgettable experience in Marrakech.

I don’t mean this as a major complaint, but it would have been helpful to know the price of the water when we asked for it, as we initially thought it was included in the room price. That being said, everything else was absolutely excellent!

Everything was just as pictured. Really lovely riad and so peaceful. We loved everything from the start of our stay. It was so clean, beautiful and relaxing. Staff was very friendly, polite, helpful and attentive. They explained the area and key sites to visit. Breakfast served on the terrace was delicious and different every day with fresh homemade cakes and bread, fresh salad fruit, fresh yogurt and juice/coffee. Many thanks to Brahim who served us there. He was so kind and sweet. Special thanks to the manager of the Riad, Mohamed Bahabbaz who was by our side every time we needed him. There are no words to describe his kindness. He treated us like friends not clients. All of the staff were great Mohamed in front desk was a great guy and helpful too. Lovely hospitality. We miss everyone already. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!! We would definitely stay there again on a future trip.

We really enjoyed our stay in the Riad Ekla Boutique Hotel! In person it looks even prettier than on the photos. Incredibly cosy, beautiful and atmospheric space. And apparently you are even allowed to swim in the little pool in the middle! The hotel also has a very nice rooftop where they serve the included breakfast. The rooms are very clean and bright, with a good AC and strong wifi. Location is extremely convenient too- on the northern edge of the medina. The rest of the old city is to your south and to your north it's a 15 min walk to the absolute must visit Majorelle Gardens and the Yves Saint Laurent Museum. The highlight of the hotel is the staff. Very professional, friendly and helpful. They speak very good English and made us feel very welcome and safe as well as provided good advice on how to plan our days in Marrakech!

The only possible negative we could come up with is that there are only 2 sockets in the room, both already occupied by the bedside lamps, making us have to disconnect them in order to charge all our devices. 1 more free socket on either side of the bed would've made it perfect!

Wow wow wow! Absolutely stunning Riad…. Breath taking! The staff went above and beyond for us, the decor was stunning, the vibe was so peaceful and relaxing… absolutely exceeded my expectations the price was reasonable and worth every penny… I would highly recommend this Riad and we will definitely choose this one again when we return to Marrakech. Beautiful & Perfect stay to celebrate our anniversary!

All the Riads are abit of a mission to get to through the hustle and bustle of the streets but if you can see past that it’s is worth it upon your arrival, and there are shops close by and this one is one of the easier ones to get to too 😊 absolutely amazing cultural experience! Will definitely return!
